The Tower of Treats!!

Well I had a lovely evening last night- my two best friends came over and we had a little Christmas meal! I made a chicken, mushroom and leek pie in filo pastry that I had never made before but it turned out well and everyone cleared their plates! I felt really bad though as the idea of the Christmas meal was that we wouldn't buy presents but my one friend bought us a really lovely bottle of wine and my other friend got us The Tower of Treats! It is one of the nicest presents that I have ever been bought. It is 5 gift boxes which I am sure I will find uses for afterwards; the first one is filled with strawberry bonbons; the second with clotted cream fudge; the third with toffees; the fourth with oat and cranberry cookies and the fifth with an Italian lemon panettone! So many boxes of delights to enjoy over Christmas!!
Tonight is my works Christmas meal which I am really looking forward to; there are 5 of us going for a Chinese and I have been told that there is a chocolate fountain with an endless supply of marshmallows so I will be very, very happy!!!
